[PATCH 3.8 38/65] dma: mv_xor: Flush descriptors before activating a channel

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.8.13.25 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel.garcia@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5a9a55bf9157d3490b0c8c4c81d4708602c26e07 upstream.

We need to use writel() instead of writel_relaxed() when starting
a channel, to ensure all the descriptors have been flushed before
the activation.

While at it, remove the unneeded read-modify-write and make the
code simpler.
